Besides, play is the basis of our childhood and joy guides each learning component. ELA, let’s get to know each other! Thursdays 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. στο Koonara Hall, 7 Balwyn Rd, Bulleen.

THE 2021 SEMINAR SERIES PROGRAM 

The program for the GCM’s Greek History and Culture Seminar Series for 2021 has been released. As 2021 coincides with the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence, it’s probably the most ambitious series attempted so far. More than half the program has been dedicated to 1821 themes. Delivering 30 seminars, and this may even grow, and a crash course aimed at students is a massive undertaking. [Click link below to see full article]…
